Assistant Editors will help with a range of tasks including:

Soliciting new contributions

Liaising with contributors

Researching images and acquisition

Managing our social media presence

Compiling book lists and ordering book copies for our Author Interviews feature

Assisting in the upkeep of the blog

Applicants should be advanced graduate students specializing in the history of sexuality. We are particularly interested in candidates with strong communication and organizational skills. An interest in digital humanities and public history is a plus. We are looking for someone who can contribute a maximum of 5 hours of work per week. A minimum commitment of one year is required. This position, like all editorial roles at NOTCHES, is unpaid. Assistant Editors may work from anywhere.

To apply, please send a 1-page cover letter, 1 page CV, and a list of 2 references to Managing Editors at notchesblog@gmail.com by September 23rd, 2016. Inquiries are most welcome.
